I’ve been wanting to make a chocolate avocado mousse for so long that doesn’t necessarily need sweetening and I think i’ve finally found the combo! These Chocolate Avocado Coconut Yoghurt Mousse Jars are dead simple to make and ready in under 15 minutes.
I’m a massive raw cacao lover, it’s full of antioxidants and makes me buzz happy through my day but for those of you who are used to sweeter things it can be quite bitter and require a healthy sweetener like raw honey, maple syrup or erythritol / swerve if you’re keto. Since giving up sugar and high GI fruits I rarely crave sweet things so I quite like these healthy chocolate avocado mousse’s without any added sugar as I used Coyo which is a naturally sweeter coconut yoghurt. It’s my favourite. Feel free to adjust to your taste buds though. I’ve added in optional healthy sweeteners if you prefer things a little sweeter.
The base is made from a grain free crumble of roasted nuts. To make these Chocolate Avocado Coconut Yoghurt Mousse Jars even more gut friendly you can activate the nuts first or simply buy activated nuts (no need to roast.)
I hope you enjoy them. Perfect for snuggling up with a film this Christmas. Jo x

INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium avocados

- 1 heaped tbsp almond butter
- 3 tbsp coconut yoghurt (I like Coyo)
- 1 tsp vanilla powder

GRAIN FREE BASE

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 fan/ 200C / 400F.
- Place the nuts on a baking tray and roast for 7 - 8 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile, add the avocados, cacao, nut butter, vanilla and optional sweetener to a food processor and blitz until smooth. You can also use a hand blender. (If you're not adding a sweetener you may with to use just 2 tbsp of raw cacao but if using sweetener, try 3 tbsp.)
- Stir through the coconut yoghurt until well combined. Place in a bowl while you make the base.
- Clean the food processor. Add all the base ingredients and blitz until it resembles a crumble consistency.
